[catgrandpa]

Government, if you’re reading this:

I literally could not give less of a fuck about your little alien announcement if I tried. Even if I were to ignore all the other shady shit you’re currently doing and have done, I got better things to worry about. I live in seattle. Do you know how much my rent is??? Let me tell you, it’s more than I make at my shitty convenience store job. So pls fuck off with your distraction tactics we are tired and nobody cares.

Aliens, if you’re reading this:

I still love you, babygirl. I promise, I do. It’s just that there are so many things happening right now, and I really need to focus on myself. I’ll think of you every night as I look to the stars, knowing you’re out there, and praying you’re thinking of me.

New Punch Out Oc!

What’s up guys I have a new oc! Cause I wanted to tbh!

I don’t have any art yet but I do have a little concept 👉👈✨💕

His name is Motel’ Kofel and he is another boxer! He’s a team USA boxer!

Motel’s appearance is striking and memorable, with jet-black hair that contrasts vividly with his piercing blue eyes. His hair is usually slightly messy but styled just enough to look deliberate—giving off an air of effortless cool, though it’s clear he cares about his image more than he lets on. He has a beauty mark on one side of his face, just under his left eye, and a smattering of light freckles across his nose and cheeks that hint at a softer, more innocent side beneath his sharp demeanor.

Physically, Motel’ is lean but athletic, with a wiry build shaped by his attempts at boxing. He’s not the strongest or most skilled fighter, but he trains hard, even if his efforts don’t always pay off in the ring. His posture and expressions give off a mix of confidence and aloofness, though there’s a guarded, almost defensive edge to him that betrays his struggles with trust and vulnerability. He often sports a Star of David necklace and a kippah.

Motel’s personality is layered. On the surface, he’s sarcastic, quick-witted, and a bit snobby, often using humor to mask his insecurities. He has a sharp tongue and isn’t afraid to call things as he sees them, which can make him come across as abrasive or condescending. However, underneath this exterior is someone who deeply craves connection and purpose. He’s fiercely loyal to his mother and those he considers family, even if he struggles to express it openly.

Despite his bravado, Motel’ is sensitive and introspective, often overthinking his place in the world. He has big dreams of making something of himself but feels the weight of his past and his own doubts holding him back. His humor and snark are often a defense mechanism, but they also make him stand out, earning him the attention (and sometimes annoyance) of those around him.

Here is his singing voice claim! Along with Marie’s- I feel like the two sing a lot together!

✨The Begining✨

Marie was still adjusting to life when she was married off, and this marriage, though arranged, didn’t provide the stability or emotional fulfillment she needed. Feeling isolated and unsure about her future, she might have found herself looking for a deeper purpose beyond the confines of her marriage.

During this time, she likely encountered an orphanage or a situation where she could make a difference—perhaps through charity work or a personal connection. Motel’ was one of the children in need of a stable home, and despite the challenges in her own life, Marie’s natural desire to nurture and protect led her to adopt him.

Her husband, possibly indifferent or unsupportive of the idea, might have been reluctant, but Marie, feeling disconnected in her marriage and searching for something more meaningful, went ahead with the adoption. The act of taking in Motel’ would have provided her with a sense of purpose and stability that she hadn’t found in her own life.

For Motel’, being adopted by Marie offered him the security he had been missing, even if he was older when they met. She gave him a sense of belonging when he might have felt lost in the world, and through this bond, they began to form a new family.

When Marie and Motel’ came to the U.S., their dynamic would have shifted significantly, especially as they both navigated new challenges in a foreign country. After the divorce, things likely became even more complex, with both of them adjusting to a new life without the security of the marriage.

After the Divorce

When the divorce happened, it marked a turning point in their relationship. The split would have left both Marie and Motel’ in a fragile place, and their bond would have deepened out of necessity. Marie, feeling the sting of her broken marriage, might have focused even more on caring for Motel’, seeking solace in her role as his protector. The divorce might have also made her feel a sense of failure, but through Motel’, she could reaffirm her worth as a mother, even if her personal life had faltered.

For Motel’, watching the divorce unfold would have been confusing and unsettling. He was already grappling with the idea of fitting in and finding stability, and seeing Marie, the person who took him in and believed in him, go through this hardship could have made him more cautious about relationships and family. Still, his loyalty to her would have kept him close. The fact that Marie was there for him, even through her own pain, would have cemented his sense of trust in her.

Motel’ might have internalized some resentment toward the divorce, feeling like he had already been through a lot of upheaval in his young life, and this was yet another disruption. However, seeing how Marie handled things with grace—despite the emotional toll—would have been a source of quiet admiration for him. He might not have shown it outwardly, but deep down, he’d respect her more for being strong through everything.

Their Life in the U.S.

Upon arriving in the U.S., both would have faced culture shock, but in different ways. Marie, still clinging to her roots and trying to adapt, would find herself torn between her old-world values and the demands of a new world. Motel’, younger and more adaptable, would likely have integrated more easily into American society, whether that was learning the language or picking up social norms and behaviors quickly. His ability to assimilate better than Marie might have created some tension between them—he could have started to see her as out of touch at times, especially if she struggled to keep up or adapt as quickly as he did.

For Marie, seeing Motel’ adapt so easily could have been both a source of pride and frustration. On one hand, she would be proud of how far he’s come—he’s successfully making a life in a new place, and that’s something she couldn’t have done at his age. On the other hand, it might make her feel left behind in some ways, adding to her sense of isolation after the divorce. The roles could even reverse a bit, where Motel’ starts offering advice or guidance, sometimes pushing back against her more traditional views.

Despite this, their bond would remain strong, especially because of the history they shared. Their love and mutual respect would outweigh any cultural differences or the strain of living in a new country. They would lean on each other, with Marie offering the stability and care that Motel’ needs, while he brings a sense of modernity and new-world practicality to her life.

✨Little Mac✨

Motel’ might initially see Mac as competition for Marie’s attention, especially if she spends extra time fussing over Mac or training him. This could lead to playful or snarky comments:

• Motel’: “Don’t let her baby you too much, Mac. You’re gonna forget how to throw a punch.”

• Mac: “Jealous? Maybe she just likes me better.”

Motel’s teasing would likely mask feelings of insecurity. He’s used to being the focus of Marie’s attention, and having Mac in the picture might make him feel like he’s losing his place. However, over time, Motel’ would come to see Mac as a younger family member who needs guidance and support, even if he doesn’t admit it outright.

Competitive Undertones

Motel’, with his snobby and sarcastic demeanor, might initially look down on Mac, viewing him as too humble or naïve for his own good. He might tease Mac for being the “golden boy” or for his quiet determination, something Motel’ struggles to emulate because of his own insecurities. However, beneath the teasing, there’s a sense of admiration that Motel’ would never outright admit. Seeing Mac’s hard work pay off in the ring could ignite feelings of jealousy in Motel’, but it would also motivate him to push himself harder in his own boxing career.

Camaraderie and Banter

Their interactions would be full of playful (and sometimes biting) banter, with Motel’ often poking fun at Mac’s earnestness. For example:

• Motel’: “So, you’re telling me you fight for honor? Cute. I fight because I like food on my plate.”

• Mac: “I fight because I want to win. What’s your excuse for losing?”

Mac’s grounded, good-natured personality would make him less likely to take Motel’s remarks personally, and he might even throw some light jabs back, surprising Motel’. Over time, this banter would evolve into a unique friendship where they both learn to respect each other’s differences.

Mutual Growth

While Motel’ struggles with confidence and finding his place, seeing Mac’s persistence and success might inspire him. Mac could become something of a role model for Motel’, even if he’d rather eat his gloves than admit it. On the flip side, Motel’s sharp wit and ability to navigate tough situations could help Mac loosen up and develop a thicker skin. They’d complement each other in unexpected ways, with Mac teaching Motel’ the value of humility and hard work, and Motel’ showing Mac how to think on his feet and not take life too seriously.

Protective Instincts

Despite his sarcasm and occasional jabs, Motel’ would be fiercely protective of Mac. If anyone dared to mess with him, Motel’ wouldn’t hesitate to step in—whether with words or fists. He might say something like, “Nobody gets to knock Mac down but me. You’re just lucky he’s too nice to break your face, so let me handle it.”

Similarly, Mac, with his strong sense of loyalty, would always have Motel’s back. He might try to encourage Motel’ to believe in himself more, often acting as the grounding force when Motel’ starts spiraling into self-doubt or anger.

[insertcoolusernamehereee]

The Wayne Family is a mess

Dick:-

Parental figure is Bruce, but calls Clark ‘dad’ sometimes just piss Bruce off <3 (Ignore Gotham War, Ignore Gotham War)

Favourite sibling is he doesn’t have one :3. Okay, he likes Jason a teeny bit more, but he’s pretty fair to all of them.

He sees Damian as his son, but they both refuse to acknowledge it completely. They’re comfortable with how they are now.

He is SO older sister coded. Feels like he is responsible for everyone, and tries to hide when he’s mad/sad, but most of the time his siblings force him to tell them how he’s feeling.

Him and Cass CONSTANTLY exchange ‘I swear to god, these losers’ looks when everyone is fighting/doing something stupid.

While his favourite is Jason, and views Damian as a son, he spoils Tim and Duke HORRENDOUSLY.

Him and Steph gossip about different celebrities 24/7

Is currently dating Babs :3

Him and Selina have more ‘friendsies’ relationship, than mom-son type relationship. When one of them get into a argument with Bruce they start slandering him SO BADLY.

Jason:-

I can hear you guys from on the other side of my screen, but him and Bruce are not on Father-Son relationship stance right now. Bruce sees him as a son, but he doesn’t view him as a father (anymore). But he can talk to him without fighting now. (Ignore Gotham War, Ignore Gotham War)

Favourite siblings are Duke, Cass and Tim. Because yes. He makes it obvious too lol.

Dislikes Damian, but helps him get away with shit just to give Bruce grey hairs.

Jason ‘I hate modern technology’ Todd

Him and Dick teaming up give people HEADACHES. If Bruce/Alfred want to scold them, they MUST be separated.

Stephanie and him are besties and bully Tim mercilessly, since he luvs to steal everyone’s friends. (Damian ur next)

He gets Alfred presents on both Father’s Day and Grandfathers day, and everything in between.

Spoils Cass tbh. It’s all with Bruce’s card, but what people don’t know won’t hurt them :D

He is constantly like ‘Selina u can do SO much better’ but he does like her. Just not as strong of a relationship.

Cass:-

100% Views Bruce as a father figure. Hates David Cain, and just does not care about Lady Shiva.

Favourite sibling is Tim, and is best friends with Stephanie.

People constantly think that Damian and her are biological siblings, so when they ask, she looks them dead in the eyes and tells them ‘He’s my dad’. It gets the reporters confused every time.

Obnoxiously acts like a little Angel, but everyone knows she’s not. “Cass. We all know you crashed the Batmobile. No, you smiling will not change my mind. Yes, your smile is very pretty, BUT STILL.”

Her and Dick are forced to be the responsible ones when everyone is hanging out. With Cass in charge of Dick, and Dick in charge of Cass. It oddly works out.

Loves spoiling Damian, it’s getting concerning. In turn, Damian’s pets love her.

Stephanie spills tea about EVERYONE to her. Even about her classmates, who Cass has never even met. Fake dating Steph as well so that nobody tries to flirt with her during galas, and to explain why Steph is so close with the family.

Babs is a major role model in her life. When Cass needs advice, Babs is the first number on her phone.

She loves Selina. But sometimes doesn’t trust her. Otherwise, she approves of Batcat :) Not that strong of a mother-daughter relationship, but she buys Selina a gift for Mother’s Day, just because she can.

Tim:-

Yes, he does view Bruce as a father figure. He also still views Jack as a father figure but he’s dead now <333 As for Janet…she’s a complicated situation.

Favourite siblings are Dick and Cass. He’s besties with Stephanie, basically tells her almost everything.

Both him and Damian are petty, so they trade insults a lot, but it’s more bantering than fighting lol. They do go out to places together, but they are always acting like they are forced to, or that they would be anywhere else (even though they like hanging with each other)

He will not stop with the ‘middle child’ jokes. He will purposefully make Bruce ignore him just so he give a long monologue about being the middle child. He will then ask Bruce to give Damian up for adoption to redeem himself. Damian is still here :D

Cass is Tim’s wingman. (Which is why it took so long for TimKon/Timber to get together)

Tim gives the best Christmas gifts, followed by Damian. This is mostly because he’s a STALKER.

He likes Babs a lot, but acts like a CHILD, because she’s better at hacking than he his and therefore she stops him from doing a few things. He threw a tantrum once when she activated CHILD-LOCK on his computer.

He adores Selina. Sometimes suspicious of her, but mostly trusts her. Selina spoils him, Duke and Damian to no limits.

Stephanie:-

Bruce is NOT her parent figure, but she still views his kids as her siblings. Crystal is her mom, she does not consider Arthur her dad.

Favourite siblings are Damian and Tim, Cass and Jason are her besties.

When Jason is mad at the family and going someplace without telling them, he only tells Steph where he is going.

Once, Tim asked how they were her siblings when Bruce or Selina aren’t her parents, so she declared that Talia was her other mom, and made weird stories connecting each of them :D

Cass knows ALL of Steph secrets, because Steph keeps venting to her 24/7.

When Tim and her are together, they start collectively working on a singular brain cell, making the other person next to them having to be the responsible one. On one memorable occasion, it turned out to be Damian.

Stephanie, Dick and Tim love stalking there siblings when they get a date. Just for fun <333. Stephanie and Dick however are the quote on quote ‘embarrassing parents’ energy when it comes to dates. (Tim and Duke are pretty chill when it comes to dates, Bruce, Damian and Jason are the ones who do the shovel talk, and Cass is just staring at you menacingly during the first family dinner.)

Stephanie and Duke are the ones who sneak off to do underage drinking. Tim and Jason are the ones trying to stop them LMAO.

Stephanie likes Selina a lot. She is constantly pestering her to let her see Harley and Poison Ivy. Selina let her one time, and they caused SO MUCH chaos. (Steph is Selina’s second favourite)

Duke:-

He doesn’t see Bruce as a father figure fully yet, but he does love him. He still considers his parents (minus the weird god dad) as his parents.

Favourite siblings are Damian and Jason. Because, in Tim’s words, he’s weird like that. Him and Damian go to movies every month, and we’re especially excited for the FNAF movie. (They LOVE FNAF.)

Duke is also super younger-sibling coded. If everyone gets super defensive of Damian, then he’s the one who can say ANYTHING and get away with it. As a joke, Jason starts referring to him and Damian as twins because when people ask who they’re ‘youngest sibling’ is, everyone keeps alternating between Duke and Damian.

At first he was downright TERRIFIED of Cass. Like he was scared to be in the same room as her. Now they team up to scare everyone else. (Duke is just recording, Cass does the scaring)

Damian only does ‘puppy eyes’ VERY rarely, and it works effectively every time. Duke? He does it for Every. Little. Thing. And most of the time? He gets it. Tim and Cass are the only one who can resist it. Sometimes.

Dick is Dukes idol. He wants to be like Dick in the future :3

Jason and Duke call each other ‘narrows’ and ‘alley’ respectively. Duke also does a lot of shit, just Bruce never finds out because nobody tells on him, so Jason is JELLY of that.

Stephanie and Duke have the most similar taste in food out of everyone else. VERY, VERY sugary. Nobody listens to them when they suggest to eat something. It’s too sugary.

Selina acts like Duke is her biological son as a joke to the press. The press still thinks it’s true. It’s downright hilarious.

Damian:-

Parental figures are Bruce and Dick, though they don’t acknowledge it :) (Ignore Gotham War, Ignore Gotham War) The relationship with Talia…is messy, to say the least.

Favourite siblings are Stephanie and Duke (because obviously???) They use there gremlin nature to a MAX to prank everyone else.

He is the most younger sibling coded person ever. He’s a little gremlin-demon, but if you mess with him, you’re messing with ALL OF THEM.

Upset that Tim and Stephanie broke up, and started shipping Steph and Cass (for shit and giggles, they are the type of besties who act like there in a relationship, and Damian knows this) and constantly asks Cass when she’s proposing so that Steph can be his sister legally as well <33

Constantly bantering with Tim, but they love each other. They just have weird ways of showing it :3

Dislike-Dislike relationship with Jason, but can and will team up with each other to ruin everyone’s day. They also don’t want each other dead ig :)

Only accepts Babs as Dicks girlfriend. No in between. But he will respect Kori. Begrudgingly.

Respects Jim Gordon so much lmaooo.

Has learned the Alfred eyebrow raise. He is now tormenting everyone with it.

Selina is Bruce’s fiancé, but they have a ‘chaotic aunt, and chaotic nephew’ type of bond. Damian is 100% Selina’s fav.

A very short analysis of all* the dads and daddy issues on lost

*Considering every character that was a main character

Daniel

Charles widmore- complete sociopath in many ways, only met Daniel when he was an adult to manipulate him into going to the island on which he would be killed by his mother which Charles witnessed

Boone

Split up with his mother at some point, was clearly left with a nanny frequently enough to kill her, definitely has unresolved issues with his dead stepfather as he fell in love with the stepsister

Miles,

Very obvious dad issues from being raised without him present. Did get to meet him but he was a bit of a dick tbh. I guess he did love him but too little too late

Michael

Little known about his dad but only his mum was looking after Walt off island. His role as a dad could be interpreted as daddy issues

Ana Lucia

Deffo has mommy issues but the lack of clear father figure points to possible daddy issues as does her time with Christian

Charlotte

Goes to shithole island to try to discover her father who was never there. Clearly has daddy issues regardless of her fathers (unknown) quality.

Frank

Has issues but there’s every chance they are NOT daddy issues. Good for him

Shannon

He’s dead and his widow is a terrible stepmother. Daddy issues up to here-may have contributed to her sleeping with her brother

Desmond

He had to raise his siblings so this points again to an absent (at the very least emotionally) father. Daddy issues

Eko

Had to raise his brother suggesting a largely absent father who wasn’t around much

Kate

Blew up her real father due to his general terribleness, her stepfather was in the army so probably has issues over him not being around all that much even though he seems like an alright guy

Jack

Jacks daddy issues regarding Christian are basically a main plot point of the show and even made it into the finale. Points to Christian for feeding into a lot of the characters daddy issues

Sawyer

Dear Mr Sawyer… probably the nastiest daddy issues, doesn’t really get much worse than murder suicide with your kid under the bed. All of sawyers bad bits are due to his daddy issues. Also has daddy issue ties to Christian and Anthony

Locke

Attempted murder was a pretty bad look from Anthony as was the kidney theft. Anthony traveled across the world giving kids daddy issues left right and centre, despite only Locke being shown as his biological kid

Ben

Skeletor was not a great dad and is a key reason captain bunny killer is so messed up. Also bens habit of adopting children (Ethan, Alex) is likely linked to his own crappy upbringing

Sayid

His dad the war hero gave him some toxic masculinity problems, sayid not killing a chicken is our only main clue but it was pretty dark

Libby

Like everything involving Libby’s past, her parents are a big mystery. She does have dead husband issues?

Sun

Mr Paik for sure messed Sun up. His treatment of Jin and his general murdery tendency affected sun not only as a child but also screwed up her marriage

Jin

Jins dad is the nicest guy on the list, but jin had intense daddy issues due to his shame and being raised by a single father.

Claire

Christian really putting it out of the park here! Being the result of an affair involving an American doctor cannot have been fun and his absence in her life probably didn’t help with her wanting to give Aaron up. Also may have contributed to her not trusting Charlie that much

Hurley

David Reyes is an asshole, but he’s a pretty run of the mill, leave my family and don’t come back til there’s money, but he made the most effort to fix things. Hugo has big daddy issues tho

Juliet

Pretty standard daddy issues but her parents divorce clearly stayed with her and led her into some pretty unhealthy relationships later on in life

Charlie

Charlie’s dad seems like quite a nice guy if I’m honest but his older brother messed him up enough I’m happy to say Charlie has something very close emotionally to daddy issues

Richard

Too much of an enigma for a strong analysis but imma go out on a limb and say yes

Bernard

I don’t think so?

Rose

She seems pretty well adjusted so I think no

Vincent

Everyone on the island has been his dad at some point- probably missed Walt his original dad a lot

[the-ave]

The lack of dangan drove me back to checking out fan games sooo here’s a ranking tier for one of my new favorites!!

Read more of my thoughts below if you want! (Warning for spoilers of chapter 1 if you haven’t seen this series):

My absolute favorite is Teruko! She quickly became one of my favorite protags in the fangans and I just LOVE how she’s written! And the fact that she ended up not trusting anyone after the first trial……tbh it’s justified imo. I’d be pissed asf if everyone blamed me for shit I didn’t do. Also I love her design sooo much!!~ such a breath of fresh air the way she’s portrayed

Levi’s my second. Sorry but I love my big softies so much and his design??? Omg please he’s so pretty??✨ I love his talent too it’s very unique. Precious bean I would love to protect him!!

Rose is absolutely my third. AAA SHE’S SO CUTE!! And her strong memory makes her such an mvp. Her talent is also unique too. would also protect her 😭

I’M SO SAD THAT XANDER DIED UGHHH HE WAS MY FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER!! But it’s a dangan game it’s to be expected lmao! Xander was such a good character and I adored his rebellious attitude!! I definitely think he wasn’t be unfaithful to his promise to not kill so I hope that gets explored in the future. (I definitely think an outside force was trying to tell him to kill teruko…maybe the person in the beginning)

Hu and Min are fourth and fifth if I ranked them tbh. I love them both but Min could have been higher than hu if she lived longer tbh. The first trial broke my heart though��.I wanna give Min a hug and her execution was hard to watch

Whitt was cool but the way he comforted Charles during his panic attack made me place him much higher. Plus he’s pretty funny Imao

Veronika, Eden, and J are also really good!!! Idk how I would rank them but I like all 3 pretty equally

David and Nico are fine. I don’t have a lot to say on them tbh cuz they’re eh imo but I do like them

Charles got on my nerves (not a fan of the arrogant type characters tbh) but I did feel bad for him during the first trial poor guy. I feel like he’ll get better though cuz I do like his design and talent. Arturo is a bit better imo cuz his quirk about loving celebrity faces is pretty funny.

Ace….Oh god ace. At least he’s funny in a way but jeez he’s annoying. Levi yelling at him made me happy tbh.

I’m sorry but I really don’t Arei. I hate hate HATE her personality and she got on my last damn nerves way more than Ace. Her talent is unique and I like her design and voice, but that’s it.

MonoTV is neat! Kinda wish his voice was more robotic but other than that, love him so much!!

Overall, this is such a super fun series!! The designs and art are so well done and I love the little animated scenes! The writing is on point too I would totally recommend anyone to watch the series fr!!

Edit: oh. Well……this didn’t age well.

I’ll make an update after chapter 2 is fully finished….

[simon-stardust]

I’ve been having some thoughts lately, so here have my List of Songs that Shouldn’t Have Made It on the Album

This is my personal opinion!! Also all these songs are being judged within their respective albums, not against each other. Some songs are objectively better/worse than others on the list, but that’s not the point here; it’s only if they aren’t as good as the rest of their album :)

- The Crunge, Led Zeppelin: I’d rather just listen to James Brown instead of a couple British guys parroting James Brown

- Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others, The Smiths: you had the PERFECT ALBUM CLOSER and then you go and put this shit????? For fucks sake Morrissey, I don’t know why I thought I could trust you…

- To Noise Making (Sing), Hozier: I know this is blasphemy, and I promise it’s probably the least offensive song on this list; but like, it’s just sort of meh?This is literally the ONLY song in Hoziers immaculate 3-album catalogue that I always skip. Maybe it’s because I know he can do better?? Idk

- San Tropez, Pink Floyd: what is this easy listening dad yacht rock song doing in the middle of my prog album

- Chelsea, Phoebe Bridgers: same thing with Hozier, it’s not bad it’s just not nearly as strong as the rest of the album. It kind of drones on and isn’t super interesting to me

- I’ll Be Your Mirror, VU and Nico: I feel like all of Nico’s songs on this album are too sweet and sappy in a “we have to let the woman sing the naive happy songs so Lou can rant about heroin” sort of way, but this one is the most egregious of them

- Dawn Patrol, Megadeth: *hamster noises*

- Dear God, Avenged Sevenfold: dear god indeed, I didn’t know I was listening to christian metal what the fuck is this

- Getting In Tune, The Who: congratulations, you have figured out the bare essentials of songwriting. Maybe you could just elabor- oh, nope, they’re just going with that. Okay

- Blue Light, Mitski: it feels she just..ran out of interesting things to say? It’s in the way of two slow dancers, so it just feels like killing time tbh

- Batman, The Who: Pete. Be so fucking for real right now.

- China Girl, David Bowie: I hate that it’s actually pretty good…but I refuse to indulge because well. Yikes

- The Secret Life of Arabia, David Bowie: again it’s a good song, just a wierd one to end the album on; I suppose it hints to the travel themes of the next album, but it just doesn’t fit the vibe, especially coming right out of neuköln

- Black Tie White Noise, David Bowie: MR. JONES I TRUSTED YOU. WHY DOES THIS EXIST. AL B SURE????? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????? YOU DONT HAVE TO TRY TO BE COOL AND ANTI RACIST!!!! YOU DONT HAVE TO TRY TO BE ANYTHING!!!! YOU ARE ALREADY EFFORTLESSLY COOL AND TUNED IN TO BLACK ISSUES SINCE YOU STARTED WHO ARE YOU TRYING SO HARD TO PERSUADE????? AND ITS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE LA RIOTS ARE YOU SERIOUS I KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER POLITICAL COMMENTARY IVE HEARD IT!!!! THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING TRYHARD AND HAM FISTED IWHABSVHWJQNIDIRHRVEVGWUWOODNDIWOWODNDBID anyway you should listen to it it’s so fucking stupid

[joe-moi]

I would assume he had his manager find a place or maybe he even stayed with family or David harbor during the transition period since he had no officially “home” but the actual moving id say his manager or personal assistant took care of it as in called movers and stuff. Tbh I doubt he even had to get in contact with m afterwards they probably communicated through their assistants and worked everything out. Because iirc it seemed like they went out of their way to avoid each other like when she was in LA he’d be in NY or anywhere else and vice versa

Guys, trust me when I tell you this I know from experience rich people don’t lift a finger when they’re moving. He probably found his own apartment but in terms of actually packing and moving, he didn’t do any of it. So you’re on the right track

[indigo-greer-collins]

i totally think angel was on some weird shit in the early audios (i wouldn’t have even believed them if they told me this shit was about their cat if i was david tbh)

but come on guys, the name calling was a little much 😭😭”infuriating little shit” is crazy, bro come on we just go to the same places???? (i’m yapping again yall incoming)

and then in the confrontation audio, there were definitely far more constructive ways to address the issue, like again angel absolutely should’ve been straight up from the start but the fact that they were hiding something like that does somewhat reflect that david DID have a problem with how he reacted to things. if you don’t feel safe enough to share smth like that with a romantic partner, imo something is already a little off about the relationship dynamic. he could’ve just gotten straight to the point and expressed his disdain without attacking angels character - angel wasn’t necessarily the problem at the root of this issue, they were facing this problem of trust, together.

even that “won’t shift for you” audio was WILD. he was constantly giving them shit for being late, PINNED THEM TO THE FRIDGE BC THEY WANTED HIM TO ADMIT HE MISSED THEM (bro that would’ve scared the SHIT outta me), and kept making little comments about how they can’t be trusted to not mess shit up 😭😭(granted i will also say in this audio, angel should have just taken a no for an answer, david didn’t wanna shift so he did not have to)

for most people, i think david’s early audios are a little much. which is okay! it’s media, things are exaggerated. but nitpicky/snarky comments like that stack up and it was rare we got like actual verbal affection in between apart from little kisses here and there

and angel isn’t some like helpless victim either, they knew what they were getting into 💀accused them of stalking on sight and was like “spectacular give me 14 of em rn/ref” - plus a little lighthearted name calling and teasing between partners isn’t like inherently shitty/toxic, i like to think they clocked david’s shit too (i think he’s even said this for himself) . generally the early relationships was rocky cuz at the end of the day david was at a really low point in his life and both of them were trying to find their footing with each other. i think the development of them both is beautiful

ALL THIS TO SAY I LOVE DAVID AND ANGEL RAHRAHRAHRHAKDJSL

I don't think early David was mean.

Ya'll know how jarring it was to enter the Tumblr space and see people drag his name? Having people refer to David confronting Angel for the weird ass sneaking around and say he was yelling. YELLING??? The man had a tone switch, but not once in that audio did he actually yell.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the problem. I don't see the dude as mean. "Bullying" as in mild name calling and calling a person out on their shit isn't mean.

Maybe David just isn't for you. That's fine. Leave the tired grubling guy to the rest of us. There's like 30 other characters to obsess over. I easily become complacent. David's approach to Angel is the kind of kick start that works for me.

He did a background check? good afternoon <3 David Anderson (the attorney): If he gives you any trouble we can put him on investor conference calls all day.

Saxiphone Lanie my beloved freebie five?

Talented researcher bro Beckett's turtleneck <3

nice transition into the building them walking, rly good

Oof right in the head like that...

OH YES THEY REMEMBERED THE ALLERGY THEY GAVE HIM IN S1 HECK YEAH KR: I’ll live, unlike Cory Harrison. Ok that reminds me, in the The Ring episode, ther was no forced entry for the first vic, they never solved that

Ey beckett is here VG: You and the boys can go back there Mr. Castle. Why kill the busboy after getting him to kill someone else? using one murder to cover up another?

Just like my mom. She trusts me, but not the ppl I'm around castle chill

RC: Let’s get to that restaurant and get some answers. CASTLE leads the way out the door but RYAN and ESPOSITO don’t follow him. They head for their desks. RC: Seriously, guys. I mean it.

is this the same hotel they used in LA?

Sussman? gun ok yeah valid but ew she's right Ooh! Thank you sir! the essential lol, booze & a pretty girl

*hits himself in the eye* you know during The Thing, she coud have said "we were that close because he did a dumb" but the champagne was already poured so it would not have been a good excuse *update* yeah castle visits the hotel at some point after champagne before The Thing

Ooooof, legit? This is new york!

She is going to reveal that!?!? not too much tho ooh architecture! You patented that? I mean,,, you have a reason,, but make it free too bro I have suffered for it XD

Gates is so pretty castle not knowing how to do stuff & ryan doing it for him jashsjdfkjsfdh also castle investigator moments, gates is probably impressed what's on his neck? KB: Oh my gosh. You’re sounding like my dad dropping me off at summer camp. Remember petra tho? JEALOUSY

Tory jdsfdsjflkh I love her See? I mentioned the neck THE PRESCHOOL I was right! POSSIBLE match

Apple XD & alexis <3 Castle don't yell at your daughter MARTHA NOT THE RIGHT THING TO SAY & alexis' shirt martha is sort of right but GIRL SHUP

Wait they said ballistics would take a few hours, why are they still at work? why is CASTLE home? He would be the one to stay as long as possible! why didn't they text the photo last time? JE: Yep. He’s a match for height, age, and placement of creepy neck tattoo.

He really is a charmer except for one thing: why won't you sleep with me? Well you could CALL castle & ask his permission... say "hey I want to sleep with him but I LOVE you & I want your permission, because I respect you & if you say no then I will not" & that might actually be the thing to drive castle to say yes bc she trusts him & loves him & will always come back to him even if she sleeps with this guy. & also castle would be able to say she slept with eric vaughn & still chose me

He dead?

Castle <3 lol she's right KB: Yeah, preferably one without windows that snipers can't shoot through.

KR: Hey Beckett, I hate to do this to you, but I need to take your statement. *taps his notebook* Beckett could have said "actually if he was there I must have been a bit farther back" also it's cool how dever gets to wear his wedding ring (with duplicates of it) on camera bc his character is canonically married. & ryan's wife's actress is married to ryan's actor. Cool af. KR: Right … (he moves to where she gestures) … here. *He looks up and realizes he’s right in BECKETT’S space. He backs up a bit and looks to the hole in the window.* *almost clocks her in the jaw* stumbled you say. ryan taking it down as if he believes her yk rly sus, eats the wrong food, stumbles at the shot, sounds like he knew what was going on. KB: He kissed me castle KR: I'M DONE HERE *leaves*

RC: Well, if he kissed you, why wouldn’t you just push him away? KB: RC: Oh. Which is why he’s not dead.

She's from a farming family? She's a lead researcher. I'm proud of her. Why else would he want toxin? Oh. nvm. rival lab. AFTER the drop? No deposit fee? I would say "one quarter now to know you're good, I give you what you want, the remainder after" or smth.

Going on a tour! WAIT WHAT? HE AUTHORIZED IT? mexicali? she believes him too much girl that's exactly how they make money.

RC: Oh Beckett. That’s what they said about Bernie Madoff. Like Madoff, it’s quite possible Vaughn’s entire empire is a house of cards. If Felder was going to visit MexiSolar he would have found out about the scam. The house of cards would collapse. Eric Vaughn couldn’t have that. And what better way to get away with murder than to make yourself look to be the intended target? Don’t you see? This entire thing is a charade.

RC: Of all the confessions over all the years, this one is going to hold a special place in my heart. the universe demands why not get ryan or esposito?

Right, he doesn't actually look at the things he signs, he doesn't oversee the day-to-day... that's how you become a billionaire. He would NOT have JUST ONE person overseeing, he would delegate. it's like when you're a chef, if you own the place you don't cook. If you are a manager you don't line cook. You delegate to your test kitchen manager, your individual establishment managers, they delegate to their sous chefs & chefs to parties, there is not (usuall) one person who owns the place & then delegates to a single manager, they would delegate to multiple people who are in charge of different things.

RC: Oops yeah digging your own grave b'y

key word: FEEL LIKE you know them right, new york is way closer to the canadian border than mexico. Ooh the music!

Tell him he's on your last supper list. I like his outfit Do you? *tries to catch him in the elevator*

viddy game & a rose. playstation specifically. HE JUST BROKE THE CORD

Just symbolic

Becks, you can ask him again.

Ok I have an extra 12 minutes. Then I have abt half an hour before I need to go to work. Which is stupid. I need to leave for work an hour & a half before my shift!?!? I mean it is a 45 minute bus ride & I need to be there 15m early to change & iron so that's an hour, but my bus either gets there 5 minutes early (or less) or 35 minutes early. So that's another 15min there, & ofc I need to give myself 15m before I leave just in case. That's more like when I stop doing whatever I'm doing & get ready to go. But I might not be able to get it done in 15m so I need to use these 10 extra minutes right now. I need to put on my binder & make sure I have my bus tickets & stuff. Then I can leave. so it's an hour & a half. ew af.

So I might not get started on the next castle, I might instead try to post some of my drafts & clips so I can get space on my phone.

Pray that I get cut early pls.

[spidey-boyy]

watched another punisherrrr, here’s s1 ep2

okayyy,,, so frank has some anger issues

‘written by karen page’? AH

who the hell are you? pls this sunglasses guy is so annyoing and i don’t even know his name

what’s microooo… oh the guy, got it

karennnnn, hi :). “thanks karen.” LMAO

aw the hug was sweet

heyyy ellison. cool to see you guys in other settings. also, idk if it’s just me but something about karen’s energy is different here. it's not a bad different but i guess it’s just bc it’s not dd

is micro just spying on random families? is this family his own?

hiii billy, heard so much about you

damn that’s it lol. frank really said, 'thanks for the article, peace.' aw karennnn

we’re only two episodes in and micro’s been outsmarted?

is the wife in on this??? is she stalling or something? No,, I think she’s good… She seems sweet. omg but she’s so trusting of frank lol, like i wouldn't invite a stranger into my place, i mean ig it's bc she accidentally hit frank with the car tho and she feels bad

is frank gonna burn his stuff or something

plain celery? i mean it's not that good- shiT ponyboy. OOH THE TOASTER TO THE THROAT

AH he pulled frank's gun on him

wait- i thought reyes gave the order to shoot central park… were they working together or something? i get what ponyboy's saying (i know they said this man's name like three times his ep but i already forgot it) but dd said that it was an accident for the most part, in this scene he's making it sound like he took part in it and that it was on purpose, which fine, but then was it his own mission? where did the drug dealer mentioned by reyes come in though? i need to rewatch this later, i think i missed something

i gotta rewatch the intro scene for dinah again bc tbh i didn't catch the case she's looking into lol

what’s the other guy detecive's name? i forgot his name

these episodes feel so long lol. i’m liking the jazz/rock music though rn

david’s on the amazing race right now w/ frank telling him to go to so many places lmao

oh shit frank found david? lol, david said “no,” to frank punching him, what did he think frank was gonna do

okay, this was interesting! i'm kinda surprised that frank got to micro/david so fast but i guess that just means that he isn't the big threat for the season? but like, why is he so obsessed with frank? also, it was nice to see karen here! cool to see her at the newspaper office and what was sort of up between dd s2 and the defenders. but yeah, i gotta rewatch stuff lol

[selfcarecap]

Nudes [p.p]

Pairing: Peter Parker x reader

Summary: Peter uses EDITH to help his crush (you, duh) with something. (I really have to work on my summarising skills)

Warning: FFH Spoilers lol, Nudes (?), a bit of naive reader in the beginning, no smut but sexual themes I guess?, David” swearing, ik they’re in high school but they’re still over 18 cause nudes

Peter and MJ broke up, no after credit scenes ever happened :)

A/N: I wrote this yesterday instead of studying for History so it’s not my best work ever but it’s still cute and you should read it  :) (aw this is from when I originally wrote this fic that's so cute awsghdjk baby!me, I miss history tbh)

Word count: 3.7k

-this is a repost of one of my first fics like over a year ago? and I could have edited the shit out of this but idk I thought it was cute lol-

“Peter, I have to tell you something.” You’re quite embarrassed about your secret but if there’s anyone you can trust, it’s Peter.

You’ve not actually been the closest of friends for long, it’s just recently that you’ve become more than just classmates and have done stuff together outside of school.

And, it would be a complete lie to say that you didn’t have a massive crush on Peter, but he just got out of the relationship with MJ and you didn’t want to risk your friendship with him. So you tried other boys.

Of course that turned out to be a mistake.

“Please promise me not to judge me or to think I’m stupid, I really don’t know what was going through my head.” You warn him before you reveal what you’ve done, although you know he’s the most kind person and would never judge you for anything you’ve done.

“I’d never think you’re stupid. And you’re safe with me, you can tell me anything.” He says reassuringly and leans in to where you’re both sat on your bed, opposite of each other.

“Okay, so... I sent... I sent these, um, pictures to this guy, and I know that I shouldn’t have sent these pictures..”

Wait what pictures?

“...but stupidly I trusted this guy. Anyway I sent the pictures and he replied, you know, satisfied... I guess. But now he’s not really texting me anymore and I’m scared that he’ll send the pictures to someone. You know you can’t actually see that much, it’s not.. that bad I’m not quite that stupid, but they were still private photos that I wouldn’t want anyone else to see...” You ramble, eyes on the floor and you’re playing with your hoodie-sleeves pulled over your hands.

“Wait what type of pictures?” Peter asks, not quite understanding yet.

“You know...” He shakes his head and bites his tongue.

“What type of pictures do you think? I know I shouldn’t have sent them but...?” He’s still not getting it, okay he’s too innocent for this shit, “What type of pictures would I send the guy that I like and wouldn’t want anyone else to see?” You ask shyly.

“Wait do you mean nudes?” He realises and shouts a bit but you shush him, not wanting your parents in the other room to hear.

“Like I said, I’m not like... naked, you can’t see everything but I... I don’t even know why I told you this, it’s not like you can do anything about it..” You try and change the subject, you feel like Peter’s judging you and you don’t even know how Peter would have helped anyway.

“Just forget I ever said anything, let’s go back to watching the movie.” You grab the remote control to turn the 90s film you were watching back on but Peter grabs the control from you with a concerned look on his face.

Truth is, Peter’s not judging you, he’s fucking jealous.

He knows he has no right to be jealous but the was one time he saw you in a bikini, although you kept your arms over your body the whole time - not that you had anything to worry about - Peter thought you were absolutely gorgeous, and now you’re out here sending freaking half naked pictures to some guy you haven’t even told Peter about?

He wishes you’d send him pictures like that, not because he’s horny (okay, he definitely wouldn’t mind seeing you like that at all) but because of the trust you have to have in a person to do something like that.

To be fair, he just broke up with MJ, they’re still on good terms but after a few weeks into the relationship they both realised that it was just the initial excitement of liking someone like that for the first time, but they weren’t really meant to be.

Besides, Peter had  developed a serious crush on you, and it wouldn’t have been fair on MJ, she was with Brad Davis now, too.

And he’d never got that far with MJ, sending half naked pictures or even seeing her like that. But maybe that was because neither was MJ a girl who took or sent pictures like that, nor was Peter a guy who’d ever ask for a picture like that unless the girl offered. Even then he’d probably be extra cautious and just prefer seeing it in real life.

“No! We can talk about this. Who is he?” You’re still not looking him in the eyes when you tell him “David.”

Oh, Peter knows David.

“That’s your type?” He asks more harshly than he intends to.

“Looks-wise anyway, it turns out he’s an asshole personality-wise so...”

You hope Peter doesn’t realise how similar they actually look, the same floppy brown hair that you wish you could play with all day, same brown, beautiful eyes that you could stare into forever (Peter’s eyes are far more kind though), same height and body type that you longed to touch even when you only ever saw them in their clothes.

Of course, Peter’s personality won by far, very, very far. And he’s more good-looking anyway, they are the same type though.

And Peter does notice the similarities. Same hair colour, height, overall just same type.

Does that mean you could at least consider him as a boyfriend? Okay, wrong time to think about that.

“Oh, yeah you’re right, he’s an asshole.” Peter comments lazily, David’s actually an okay guy, just not the biggest gentleman, but apart from his behaviour towards girls, David really isn’t a bad guy. Of course Peter doesn’t want you to know that.

You just nod and bite the inside of your cheek, thinking of what to do next.

Then it suddenly hits Peter, how he could help you. He has EDITH, he’d successfully deleted that picture Brad Davis had of him, so he’d just have to do the same on David’s phone.

He desperately wants to help you.

“I’ve got an idea!”

*

“Hey, Edith,” Peter whispers, you’re next to him, leaning against your locker in the break, so Peter wouldn’t look suspicious talking to himself.  “Could you access David’s phone for me please?”

You can’t hear what the computer glasses (or whatever the fuck they are) are saying - Peter’d told you they were an unfinished project by Tony Stark. He didn’t reveal much about them but they were advanced enough to delete the pictures off David’s phone.

You can only watch Peter’s facial expressions and he’s concentrated, and it looks as if Edith is doing the job so far.

“Okay, now I need you to delete all pictures off his phone, photo gallery, text messages, wherever they are, all pictures that have y/n in them.”

Peter looks at you for a face scan, and then back over at David, who is standing by his locker, doing something on his phone.

The look on Peter’s face changes once he sees the photos of you pop up in front of him.

That’s not what he expected.

There you are in your bathroom in front of your mirror, the first picture‘s kind of harmless.

You, fresh out of the shower, hair still wet and bare-faced with no makeup, a look Peter loves on you, in a blue satin pyjama blouse. Yes, it’s slightly unbuttoned, enough to make out the outline of your breast, but not more than he’d seen often on you when you simply wore a lower cut top.

The next picture is what does it for him and his heart stops for a second.

You, still in your bathroom, this time though, the blouse is completely open and slid down to your elbows, hanging behind your back and down your sides.

You didn’t lie, he couldn’t see everything of your naked boobs, but it’s enough to get him flustered and he can’t concentrate for a moment.

One of your hands is up to cover your right nipple and your arm is placed over your chest so your other nipple isn’t visible either, but he’s able to see the rest of your perfect, soft flesh. Your other hand is holding your phone in front of your face but anyone who knows you would be able to tell that it’s you.

He blinks and looks at you, who’s nervously looking back at him, waiting for him to delete the pictures off David‘s phone.

You, of course, don’t know that he actually has to look at the pictures in order to confirm to Edith to delete them.

Just seeing how nervous you are gets him back on track and he gazes at the pictures again, just this time with his backpack covering the front area of his pants.

But besides those two pictures, there‘s more. Pictures David‘s taken screenshots of, from your Instagram account and Peter feels sick, guessing what David used all those pictures for.

It doesn’t stop there though. There aren’t many, but a few pictures Peter hadn’t seen before, David must have taken them himself.

Pictures of you on a picnic blanket in a park, laughing, and you looked beautiful.

Another photo of you in your sweats on your bed, papers spread out in front of you, as well as coffee.

Peter thought he was your study partner?

Then there’s also a video, one of you two making out. He doesn’t want to fucking see that, but it starts playing nevertheless and what he sees makes him sick with jealousy.

You and David, in someone’s bedroom, David’s bedroom, and the phone is presumably placed on the headboard, recording the two of you.

David’s mouth is pressed against yours in a sloppy kiss. It doesn’t look very enjoyable, two tongues colliding, spit between the two of you, but the little moans coming out of your mouth tell Peter otherwise and he blushes deeply.

He’s grateful that only he is able to hear and watch the video, he doesn’t want people thinking he’s watching porn at school.

Before he’s able to possibly see more, and imagine and get jealous at what you’ve done with David, he confirms to Edith to delete all pictures and videos with you in and surely within a second they’re all gone.

He wonders how far the relationship between you and David had gone, if it even was a relationship, but he knows you’d tell him if you wanted to and otherwise it was none of his business.

“Deleted. You’ve got nothing to worry about now.” Peter smiles at you, taking the glasses off and you hug him, thank him ten times, because who knows what could’ve happened if the pictures were in the wrong hands.

“Do you know if he sent them to someone else or something?”

“No, he didn’t. I think it’s been deleted everywhere though, so it won’t be on your phone anymore either.” He explains.

“Aw, I liked the picture,” You frown shortly and oh, Peter liked the picture, too, but of course he won’t tell you he’s seen it, “But don’t worry, thanks again. Really, thank you so much. See you later.”

“Um, wait a second.” Peter stops you from walking away.

“I don’t know if I should be telling you this, but, uh,” He doesn’t know why he’s saying this, it’s not true but he wants to make sure you don’t go back to David,

“There were other pictures. Of other girls. From weeks ago and also more recently. Quite a few actually, and I, I just thought you deserved to know that.”

“Oh.” Is all you say. It’s enough that you and David stopped talking after he finally got the pictures of you, but now he‘s even been talking to other girls, multiple girls, while you two had been going out and he obviously had no problem moving on, if he’d ever even truly liked you.

You don’t want to cry because of that asshole, especially not while he’s in the same hallway as you and doesn’t give a single fuck about you. But the tears just form in your eyes and you can’t hold back.

Peter notices immediately and hugs you tight as soon as he sees the frown on your  perfect face and you bury your face in his neck, still desperately trying not to break down completely.

But Peter’s face is probably more miserable than yours.

He wishes to be the one taking the pain of heartbreak, and not you.

Sure, he’d been sad when MJ and him broke up, but judging by what he’d just seen, him and her weren’t nearly as close as you and David.

Then he’d had you to cheer him up, he never complained about MJ, talking about your ex girlfriend to your new crush probably wasn’t the best topic, but you had cheered him up without even knowing.

You made him happy and he decided to make it his mission to make you as happy as you’d made and make him.

*

You and Peter are watching movies, as always, the following Saturday.

He knows you’re not extremely sad, mostly just upset, and while you hadn’t really talked to him much, he knew that you had to tell him sooner or later in order to get over David quicker.

Peter knows talking about things makes it hurt less, but only if you’re ready to talk.

And there’s this other thing... He hasn’t been able to get the pictures out of his head, as much as he tried.

This was a problem, because, first of all, the pictures had been for David and not for Peter to see, and he felt like he was betraying you by not telling you he’d saw.

Secondly, they were for David and it made him jealous to no end.

Thirdly, they were sexy pictures, and although Peter’s not your typical hormonal teenager, he’s a hormonal teenager to some extent.

“I’ve got to confess something.” He blurts out, not being able to keep it to himself anymore, it feels like he’s abusing what he’s seen.

“Shoot.”

“When I deleted the pictures, I, you know,... I had to look at them in order to confirm that they were the right ones to delete, so yeah... I saw them.”

“Well... did you like them?”

What kind of question is that?

If he says ‘yes, the pictures were great, I enjoyed them’, he’d give away that he has a crush that you probably don’t reciprocate.

If he says no, he didn’t like the pictures, that would be a lie, and how the fuck would you feel if he told you that?

“Is there even a right answer to that? I mean, you even said yourself that you liked them, and, damn,...” Okay stop there that’s enough.

“I suppose you’re right.”

You understand Peter’s dilemma with that question, saying yes would be weird, saying no would be mean and, although you doubted he liked you back, untrue. But you’d love to hear from Peter that you looked good, you didn’t need it, but it sure as hell would cheer you up right now.

“Uh, so you’re not mad at me seeing them?” He asks cautiously.

“I mean, first of all you had no other choice, you deleted them and that was basically impossible and I owe you for that if anything, but also... I sent them to an asshole like David, so obviously you seeing them is much better than him being able to see them again.”

What the hell do you mean by that? Girls are so confusing.

“I know it’s none of my business, and it’s okay if you don’t want to answer, but since I saw the pictures I also saw the video,”

You furrow your eyebrows “What video?”

“Uh... there was a video of you two making out, I guess that was his room.”

“Oh yeah, I completely forgot he took that. Thanks Peter, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“Oh, it was all thanks to Edith, not me.” He blushes.

“Anyway, what was your question?”

“Again, it’s fine if you don’t want to answer, but how.. close did you two get?” He can’t say the words, can’t imagine you and David... like that, doesn’t want to.

You muster him with a serious expression and Peter feels like he might cry, until you crack a smile.

“Noooo,” You draw out, amused, “You really think I’d give it up to someone like David? I’m not that stupid. Anyway, I was just with him hoping to forget about another guy.” And again, Peter’s heart breaks. Another guy?

Okay, don’t make it obvious now, Parker.

“I mean you were stupid enough to send him those pictures of you.” He jokes, earning a light slap to his arm and the way he said the words, you have your answer on what he thought of your pictures.

“Did it work? I mean, getting over the other guy?”

“Not at all. David’s nowhere near as good as the other guy, not as cute either.” You say it with such ease, but Peter can hear your heart beating in your chest furiously. He doesn’t know that it’s because you think he might catch on that it’s him.

The heart in his chest is broken, he’s got you away from David but now he’s got an even bigger threat, a guy ‘much cuter’ than David. And David didn’t look that different to Peter.

*

You lay awake in bed that night. The last days you’ve been a bit sad, a bit because of David, but mostly because of Peter. Maybe you should’ve stayed with David, he saw you as more than a friend, or at least acted like it.

Peter’s so innocent and he couldn’t even tell you that he liked your pictures. That had to be a clear sign that he didn’t like you like that, right?

But if you never asked, you’d never get the answer.

So somehow you pluck up the courage and text him. After twenty minutes of thinking what to write, you just go with the simplest way of saying it.

Peter, it’s you

The guy I like

If you don’t feel the same it’s okay, but please be nice

Peter could not believe his eyes when he read the text message. If you hadn’t written his name P-e-t-e-r (he checked five times) he’d be absolutely positive that you got the wrong number.

He was just on his way home from his Spider-Man activities when he heard your special ringtone go off in his pocket.

And now he just has to see you.

When he arrives at your window, web shooters now hidden under his sweater and suit off, he sees you lying on your bed.

The same blue satin blouse from the picture, but he doesn’t allow his mind to wander and get jealous and angry, your hands are around your phone which lies on your belly and you look troubled.

And he realises he maybe should have texted you back before leaving you hanging and then unexpectedly showing up at your window.

But he knocks without thinking, startling you but luckily you recognise him quickly.

“Peter, how the hell did you get up here?” You ask, opening the window for him and he jumps onto the floor into your room. “Fire escape.”

“Uh, I sent you a text, did you…?” You scratch your neck nervously, looking to the floor.

“Yes, I know! Did you - did you mean it?” Peter asks eagerly.

“Uh-huh, but it’s okay if you don’t feel-“ But you’re interrupted by Peter’s lips on yours.

It takes you by surprise so you don’t give in straight away, alarming Peter and he pulls back to look at you anxiously. What if he understood your text the wrong way?

But you kiss him back with full force and he stumbles against your wall at your eagerness.

“Sorry.” You pull back again slightly.

“Don’t be.” And you’re at it again.

After a few, hard, short kisses he pulls back again and you want nothing more than to have your mouth against his but he looks at you so beautifully you might melt right away.

“So, uh, I like you, too. Quite a lot.” He mutters and catches his breath.

“I kind of guessed.” You smile.

“But I also lied to you.. There were no pictures of other girls on David’s phone, I just said it so that you definitely don’t like him anymore. I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have lied” You don’t say anything for a second.

“We broke up before I thought he was texting other girls. I don’t care what’s on David’s phone anymore. You’re the one I want.”

“Oh. Thank God. Want to... go back to kissing then?” He smiles and you lead him back to your bed where you’re more comfortable.

After a few minutes of kissing and occasionally stopping to look and smile at each other you slip your tongue into Peter’s mouth and now he understands why David and you had been doing that in the video.

And while he hates himself for thinking of David, while your tongue is in his mouth, that’s exactly the reason. Because unlike what he thought when he saw that video, your tongue in his mouth doesn’t feel gross at all but surprisingly nice.

“Will...you...be...my girlfriend?” He asks between kisses and you stop for a second.

“Yes.” You reply, out of breath. “I’d love to.”

“That includes, and I also hope you won’t be sending any other guys half naked pictures anymore because, you know, I’m your boyfriend now,” He says proudly, “No secrets between us, okay?”

“Yeah. That goes for you too, though,”

Wait does that mean...?

“And I wonder how the hell you got all the way up to my room if the fire escape is on the other side of the building? It’s like you’re Spider-Man or something...”

Uh oh

[lostinanothersmemories]

Okay okay! you can hold off the execution. I’m hoping i didn’t hype this up too much tbh

Traitor angel part 3 finale! you can find part one and part two here

tw: emotional distress, mentions of bad parents, mentions of taught fear, non consensual telepathy (later consented)

They felt exhausted, tired, empty, whatever synonym can be stirred up for absolutely shattered. It feels like their eyes can’t even close too sore from sobbing, despite being near silent with their cries they always find a new glass of water outside the door. Their favorite glass, the one they’d complain if David used.

They didn’t listen into conversations, most of the time they stayed in bed covering their head with the pillow wishing they could wake up from this nightmare, wishing that they hadn’t of hurt him.

They don’t hear the new voice enter the house, or Tanker inviting them. They don’t hear David immediately asking “What are you doing? Who is this? Would you just leave it Tanker?”

“That’s one too many questions big guy. This is Milo’s mate coworker…one day I’ll learn peoples names I promise. But anyways they are a telepath and you have a mate who’s lied and you want the certified explanation.” He pauses realizing they are suggesting listening into his mates thoughts without their knowledge, without their permission. Suddenly the weight of the choice makes him feel even heavier than he has with the sleepless nights and the long moments of staring at the shut door of the guest bedroom. He walks past the both of them making his way to the kitchen to get a drink of water hoping to wash all this away. “I’m surprised it’s you.”

”You shouldn’t be,” they argue immediately. “Asher is great but he thinks you need distance that you need time.” He fights the urge to tell them to get off the counter as they sit up on it, “Milo thinks you need a plane ticket for one. ‘Manda wants to side with them, desperately wants an explanation.”

He leans back across from them, “And you?”

“I know what it looks like when someone doesn’t love you. I also know that people make mistakes, but that they wouldn’t hurt you not once they fell for you. So from the person with the worst romantic history of the pack, there’s a reason. And knowing you you won’t ever let them slip through your fingers until you are absolutely sure.”

“It’s creepy, how much you pay attention to everyone.”

”Call it a trauma response, I’m still right.”

”Okay, we can do it.”

“Hey Professor X we have the green light!”

He’s terrified as he’s walked through what will happen, the line directly drawn into his mates mind letting him hear. Tankers pushed a chair beside him not quite touching but within arms distance, it’s a comforting distance even if he had to shove their feet off his table. He gives a nod when the telepath asks for final confirmation that they have his permission and feels it suddenly all at once, crushing guilt, regret, self-hatred, and fear.

Just tell him the truth he’ll believe you, right believe “Oh hey by the way my parents raised me to hate and fear exactly what you are but you were just so pretty when I met you” that’s a great idea really fantastic. Just spare him the pain of having to throw you out, book a plane ticket to somewhere far away and leave a note telling him you’ll be safe. Right cause right now you absolutely should just take more control out of his hands. I did everything right…I thought I did everything right. I burned every piece of information I gathered before I gave it to them…but I still betrayed his trust.

As had been explained to him David begins receiving images in their mind as well, their first date. Them still in that outfit that had him near drooling the whole day tossing official documents into a fire, hands shaking. Pausing on the page of him clipped together information on him information that never found it’s way to ETS. Resignations signed, jobs searched for in Dahlia.

He doesn’t deserve this. He never deserved this. You did this. You hurt him.

David can’t hear it, the way their sobs are getting louder despite their best efforts.

You hurt him. How could you? All he ever did was love you and you hurt him, you hurt his family. You-

He breaks out of their mind when Tanker shakes him pointing over to the door, “They’re crying. I don’t want to push you to a decision, but it’d be a good time to hold them if you-.”

They don’t get to finish their sentence when David is out of his chair fast enough to nearly send it to the ground if Tanker hadn’t of grabbed it quickly making his way to the door.

They startle when the door slams open David in too much of a rush to get to them to open the door gently “David-“ they start trying to hide away the tears.

He says the first words that come to mind, ”I love you.” Pulling them nearly off the bed all together with a hug cradling their head into him. “I’m sorry I love you. I don’t want you gone, I want you here, please stay.”

“But after what I did.” They pull back to look at him, only for him to cup their face so gently in his hands.

“You were scared, you learned, you grew, you protected my family…Tanker brought a telepath.”

”You heard-“

”I’m sorry I just I wanted the truth. I questioned if I could trust you anymore.”

”Don’t apologize. Do you think you can trust me now?”

”Of course I do. But I’m not letting you stay in this guest room a moment longer.” He doesn’t let their feet touch the ground carrying them to their room finding their house empty besides from them already. “You said your parents didn’t have the same beliefs as you and that’s why you didn’t talk to them…is it about the empowered world?”

”My parents have worked for them long before I was born, I grew up going to company parties. Even got my first job as a secretary, I believed them with all the horror stories they told me. Nepotism got me a job in the field too, just simple stuff at first. Watching from a distance and then on my second ever job you approached me, honestly I was terrified at first I thought you were gonna drag me out back to rip me to shreds. So I played dumb and then you started blushing and stumbling over your words and god I had never met someone more adorable. And before you say “I’m not adorable” you are. Enough to make me question those years of being taught you were the monster in the night. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, to be honest I don’t think I ever would have told you. I wanted to throw the whole life I had away to have a better one with you, and that’s not fair to you. I should have told you, I’m just scared of losing you.”

”You aren’t going to lose me angel, it’ll take more then a rough past to do that. But if you happened to drop your parents address somewhere I know a pack of wolves who have a grudge.”

Their laughter brightens the room back up, “I don’t want them in danger but I promise if the opportunity comes up to exact a bit of revenge I’ll offer it up happily.”

”I love you angel.”

”I love you too Davey. I always have, I always will.”

what is mythic quest?

OOOOOOO RANT TIMEEEE

okay so! let’s gooo [rubs hands together gleefully]

So! Mythic Quest is a TV show! Apple TV says it’s a comedy but I don’t trust them and I’m pretty sure it will end up emotionally destroying me but ah well

So it’s kinda like The Office? It’s a workplace comedy at the headquarters of a video game studio (?) and we get to see the shenanigans of the people at the top of the company. Let’s GO

ian grimm! creator of the game mythic quest! honestly i. kinda hate him he’s got such a huge ego and for WHAT!! and i don’t mind egotistical characters as long as they’re interesting but no he’s just. this guy. he annoys me tbh i feel so annoyed every time he’s onscreen

POPPY LI!! lead engineer of mythic quest and also the love of my life. poppy is so fucking amazing i love her So Much she is the most character to ever. she ends up being a bit egotistical as the show progresses and more like ian but. we)re just gonna ignore that <3

AND, NOW, THE WHOLE REASON I WATCH THE SHOW

BRAD BAKSHI HEAD OF MONETISATION LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO

Transformers Siege (WFC) character review!(1/2)

Instead of separating from decepticons and autobots (mainly because of the Predacons and maximals), I’m going to put them in order of which bots I really feel like talking about the most! So, here we go!

*watch for swearing, spoilers, and possible thirst.

/Also, alt modes will NOT be available for this series. They kinda don’t transform too much, and when they do, they hardly let me get a shot, sooo/

Optimus Prime!!; 

This Optimus did a full 180 for not only my opinion, but for his own characterization. This Optimus started out as impulsive, reckless, ignorant of other’s opinions, and quite frankly, was just frustrating to deal with. He was the one who essentially sent the Cybertron into a total fuck storm, and as such, doomed MANY lives, including the one of his love, Elita one. Honestly, Optimus is kinda. Dumb, honestly? He literally sent the live source of Cybertron into the vastness of space, just to keep Megatron from winning the war. Literally, EVERYONE hated him at the start, from Bumblebee to Ratchet. Then, get this- he learned from his mistakes. From Skylynx, to the Optimus Primal, to the soul of Elita, to Optimus and Ratchet and even Megatron- he had so many influences telling him what he did wrong. Towards the end of the series, he became the classic, noble, somewhat self conscious mech we all grew to know and love. Honestly? 9/10. He isn’t perfect. Far from it, but damn Optimus KNOWS this, and that’s so great- I can go all day, you guys (also that one moment where he asked Megatron to forgive him at gunpoint, such a good fucking scene).

Elita one!!; 

I love her. SO much. She’s a QUEEN. She has been ignored, she has been held hostage, she’s been punched and kicked and shot at-my girl has been through hell. And she carries it WELL. Not only is she FINE, but she is bold, smart, and she is STUBBORN in her beliefs. She is also a natural born leader, and I honestly and really appreciate her. Her death was honestly one of the sadder moments, but her soul’s reunion with Optimus was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. I wish we saw more of her, honestly and desperately (plus she has so many character interactions, there’s SO many ways you can go about her character, it’s incredible). 10/10 my girl is a fighter and she was so ride or die for Optimus (even though I lowkey ship her with those three little cons, ya’ll know the ones) 💕.

Megatron!!(Siege);

Every Megatron has something different about them. For example, this series has two Megatron’s (three because Galvatron), but we’re talking about the Megatron that we start the series with. The sort of ‘G1’ Megatron. This Megatron has a few...issues. Lips aside, this Megatron has a few things I’d change about him. He’s insane, he’s incredibly selfish, and honestly? His character interactions leave something to be desired, in my opinion. However, he does have a blend of good traits. You guys remember Prime Wars Megatron? How this man refused to go down without being ‘fuck you’ to his opponent? This Megatron had those moments, telling Galvatron right the fuck off when he tried to present him with a decision to join him. I love a Megatron that refuses to back down. I also appreciated the regret he clearly has for stuff he did (we all remember what happened to that one power plant), and I appreciate that In a Megatron. Couple that with the pompous villain aesthetic (he had his own pictures hung up on a wall for fucks sakes). However, he isn’t my favorite Megatron (that’s a tie between Prime/Prime Wars Megatron). 7/10. Fun in some cases, but not someone I think I’ll deem my favorite Megatron.

Megatron!!(beast wars);

This Megatron was kinda doomed from the start. From the issue with his VA (not everyone can be David Kaye, but still), to the odd way he simped over the other Megatron, kinda made me dislike seeing him on the screen. Don’t me wrong, he wasn’t AWFUL, and like everyone else on the show he LOOKED good and his VA did...okay. Listen, he had a REALLY good simp voice. But beast wars Megatron actually saw the old Megatron as an old fool. Now he suddenly worships him? It kinda makes this Megatron look pathetic, and I’m not really into it. 4/10. I’m sorry, but I appreciated him more when he wasn’t on screen.

Ironhide!!; 

He did like. Nothing in this series. He only really spoke to tell Optimus what he did. He’s just so cute and I liked hearing him speak. Not the same Ironhide voice, but still I love him terribly 10/10 he is but a baby waby.

Sideswipe!!;

He did like, two things in total in this series, and BOTH made me feel something. He also misses his brother Sunny and it honestly hurt me. Someone hold and support him, 8/10 this precious bundle of red-

Skyfire!!;

This Skyfire actually starts off as not only a decepticon, but a HIGH ranking decepticon, pretty much Megatron’s second hand. He was pretty decepticon motivated, up until Megatron decided the whole genocide of an entire race was too much for her. Honestly his role was a LOT like MTMTE Impactor in this series. A close believer changed to the opposite side, because Megatron’s dumbass got carried away. This Skyfire died, but up until that, he was determined to help the cause. He was literally willing to have a bomb implanted into him just to prove he was with the autobots. He was bold, stubborn, and everyone he interacted with was GREAT. 8/10. Tbh, probably my second favorite Skyfire (hard to compete with Cyberverse).

Impactor!!;

Pretty much the first time I’ve seen him in a show (at least noticeably) and I appreciated his little debut here. Impactor betrayed the decepticon, and in the best way possible. Not because he thought the cause was wrong, but because he got a super hot medic boyfriend, who JUST so happens to be an autobot. Seriously, ratchet fixed his booboos and Impactor just went ‘Listen I’d die for you’. Did anyone but Ratchet trust him? Nope. Did Mirage like him? Nope. Did we give a shit because he was very literally, ride or die for Ratchet? Also nope. Like this dude deadass was willing to go through the ‘we don’t trust decepticons’ bullshit, JUST because Ratchet swept him off his feet. 10/10, Impactor didn’t deserve to die, he deserved to be the hostile gay to suit the hostile lesbian that was Blackarachnia. 💜

Ratchet!!;

This Ratchet was like. The ONLY Ratchet I’ve ever seen, who just fucking hated Optimus. Seriously, this dude just wanted to be alone with his husband. Wanted NO part of Optimus, no part of Bumblebee, NO ONE. He’s sarcastic, bitter, and he WILL give you shit over Impactor or any of his patients. He’s a sour/sweet old man and even though I wish I saw him more, I love him and adore him with my big ol’ heart. 9/10, everyone can eat my ass I’m not over Impactor still.

Wheeljack!!;

Chaotic bastard. Smartass, dumbass, gay ass, and the first character to say ‘ass’, I love him. He doesn’t play much in terms of actual plot stuff (he’s like, a support character tbh) but the few times he was on screen, I loved him. It was like someone gave Danny Devito a PHD. 8/10, just needed to be able to give more one liners like he deserved.

Eurovision 2022 (#38)

38. AZERBAIJAN Nadir Rustamli - “Fade to black” 16th place

Decade rank:75/79 [Above Roxen, below Undisclosed]

I’m GNOOOOOME, GNOOOOME!

Ugh, I just DON’T want to write about this fucking male Dilara! please read this chat I had two hours before I FINALLY sat myself down to write this entry: 

There, you have it! The extent of my willingness to talk about this year’s Azerbaijani entry. It’s EXHAUSTING.

André is very charitable though. Nadir is not a Gjon. Nadir is a Freddy. An “attractive” (but not really) athletic guy with a strange, gruff voice and HORRIBLE enunciation (like seriously, the words I can make out are *the wrong English* words) dressed in roughspun, barefoot, screaming notes in an annoying, an fully masturbatory way. Between Freddy, Nadir and this Mello’s Lundvik, is there a catalogue where you can order these? Can I get one at IKEA?!

Method Singing. +1SIN ::CinemaSins sin counter ping::

Was there ever a bigger case of blue balls when Azerbaijan deliberately *delayed* the reveal of their song by a full week and then hit us with ::pages through notes:: “Fade to black”? Apt name btw. “Snap” isn’t amazing or anything, but it at least has a memorable melody. I don’t think I could remember any chord from “F2B” other than “I’m Gnome” assuming I could have been bothered to try and memorize this inherently dull! 

Even if we were to take the staging into account, ”Fade to Black” has an astounding lack of originality. Yeah, it looked “artistic” perhaps to those not familiar with art? (which: Konstrakta is a Eurovision alum and not an NF loser in our universe, so how are you not?). Yeah sure “a classy act” but HAVE YOU HEARD THE SONG?! (god the way this sentence is applicable for at least *four other entries* I have to rank after this, THIS IS WHY THEY ALL RANK LOW *AND* IN RED Y’ALL!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DISLIKED 2022!!)

Azer just literally went to Sweden to buy themselves yet another generic trash song with HORRIBLE lyrics and expected to be rewarded for it. Again!

What makes this worse though, is that they were rewarded wtf?! I don’t fucking understand it, what sort of a person sees the Eurovision 2022 Grand Final, reaches “Fade to Black” (mind you, having already witnessed Chanel and Maro by this point) and thinks “YES! That one! THAT’s The One!! That’s the winner of Eurovision” (and continues to think so even after seeing Cornelia and Sam). Apparently, several “professional” juries. At least with Spain you can make the excuse of them being strategic since they had a leg in the race for second, but what excuse do the others have? Were they experimenting with artificial intelligence? Or did they simply not get caught cheating?

This neatly brings me to the last two points, which are what truly pushes Nadir into the bottom 3 for me: Azerbaijan were, ONCE AGAIN, up to some dodgy shite, and had their jury cancelled. Yet they have the audacity to be indignant about it? (unless they want me to believe they DIDN’T cheat but were punished anyway because the EBU doesn’t trust their potentially recidivist arses, which is a narrative I can get behind tbh <3) Like seriously, why does Azerbaijan always get away with a stern warning and not actual action? Expel them, on the fucking spot.

Even worse, *because* a third of the Semi 2 juries were DQ’d, the EBU’s rigging algorithm took over the jury results, and this insipid calculation is what ultimately carried Azer into the finals despite receiving ZERO TELEVOTE POINTS from the audience?! I don’t know what should have advanced (um, that is to say, it should have been Ireland, but realistically probably Cyprus or NoMac), but whoever they robbed, that country’s delegation have grounds to sue.

In sum: "Congratulations" to Azerbaijan for making me hate an entry *this* insipid with *that* much passion. Your reward is a bottom 3 spot on the ranking :-)

The Ranking: 

38. AZERBAIJAN - Nadir Rustamli - “Fade to black” 39. ITALY: Mahmood & Blanco - “Brividi” 40. ISRAEL: Michael Ben David - “I.M”
